Mudder's Milk

I really love Joss Whedon and almost everything he's done. Buffy the Vampire Slayer was my favorite television series as a very young teenager, and still holds a very special place in my heart. Joss has gone on to create a lot more shows and movies, all with their own dedicated fans and beloved characters. Firefly/Serenity was Joss's very short-lived delve into science fiction, and it was glorious. In the series, the alcoholic beverage known as "Mudder's Milk" was used on a remote planet called Higgin's Moon to simultaneously feed the laborers (or "Mudders" as mud was the planet's only export) and keep them submissive. It has, according to planetary legend Jayne, "all the protein, vitamins and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus 15% alcohol." From this description, I instantly imagined a sort of alcoholic protein shake. This recipe is not going to be everyone's cuppa, obviously, but that's sort of how it is supposed to be. The drink is super filling, and I think it tastes pretty rutting good myself. It would be a great meal replacement for one of those days.

Ingredients

2-3 Shots of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey

1/2 Cup Milk

1/2 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt

1 Banana

2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter

1/4 Cup Oatmeal

Honey to taste

Cinnamon to taste
Ice

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender, blend until consistency is smooth and drinkable. Pour into a mug and enjoy!

I have an answer to this - As someone who has studied anthropology, I can tell you that Mudder's Milk would be something very similar to a particular African Tribe (that I cannot remember the name of) that my Professor lived with for a year - Millet Beer. Yes, it has alcohol, but it's very thick, and almost unpalatable to those who aren't used to it, because it has everything in it needed for nutrition throughout the day. Served about 2-4 times throughout the day to the working people of the tribe. I like the Geeky Chef's version much better!

I think you should make terraria and minecraft foods like worm food (terraria, meat on a stick) or cake (minecraft, very cubey cake) if any1's with me on these 2 games, then reply with other ideas from these games (I might check weekly). Now go out there and plz do it(my techie showed a bit) !

Ice is wrong. Dark rum and not whiskey. No yogurt. No honey. Remember that the drink is supposed an acquired taste and not just an alcoholic smoothie. So stir it by hand and put more alcohol in it! Be men not fanboys

When I saw that episode I thought that this looks to be a variation of an old Scottish dessert, called Atholl Brose. There are several variations on it, some only changing by method of preparation. Sometimes is also will have Currents re-hydrated with whiskey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atholl_brose

Just got the book and I love it! However. You said that Firefly has "only fifteen magnificent episodes". Sadly, it's even worse, there are only fourteen. Normally I wouldn't bother with typos but that one kind of hit me right in the feels :( Anyway, great work on the book!
